[quote]I have a Windows Vista Ultimate Geniune[/quote] [quote]when i put the program "Alcohol" Vista refused to load at all[/quote] Why would you need Alcohol? If you really have a genuine copy of Vista Ultimate you can download and install the English Language pack through Windows Update.

Running Vista on my main machine and its stable and fast. Running XP on my old Laptop and its stable and slightly less fast. It seems that I am a 'User Error'-free mental case. [quote]LOL! Kona, do you not remember when XP came out? You said all this same kind of crap about it. Then you switched to it. Same crap, different OS.[/quote] ....and then there was the whole IE versus Firefox debate..... <img s

Right-click on your Desktop - click on 'Personalize' - then click on 'Desktop background' - choose 'Windows DreamScenes' from the drop-down List - then click on one, and DreamScene should be running. Then go back to your installation file and try to install DeskScapes again. This time it should recognize DreamScene. Edit: I just remembered, there was something a while back where DeskScapes didn't recognise Vist

What exactly are you trying to install? DeskScapes? If yes: Try running a Windows Dreamscene in the background, while you are installing DeskScapes. That did the trick for me.

On topic, For my personal taste, a good cursor should be pointy at the tip. The ones with round tips or unusual forms might be cool to look at, but navigation with them is just not as precise and just more difficult. That doesn't mean a cursor has to be arrow shaped, it can have an unusual form, but should have a clear tip somewhere. Does that make any sense?

[quote]None of the cursorxp versions have worked properly no matter what machine I install them on. [/quote] I am not sure which version of CursorXP you are talking about. I had CursorXP 1.31 installed on various XP-systems (laptop and desktop, XP-home and XP-professional) for years, and have never had any problems with it. I even run Cursor[B]XP[/B] successfully on [B]Vista[/B]64bit. Have you informed Stardock-support about your problems with CursorXP?

My boss seems to think he has to do everything by himself too. He was used to work for himself, but now has to lead a team. I keep on telling him that he slows down the whole group if he attempts to micro-manage every little thing by himself. So don't feel guilty about spending time with your family. Just delegate the responsibility and spread the load a bit. Your kids will be ever grateful for that.

In my opinion; a "journalist" who writes sentences like: "There are ten million billion themes out there, but 99% of them are - excusez-moi - utter rubbish". Hasn't really the qualifications to write a review about anything. Duh... yes each of us has their favorites. None is using all the 4000+ skins that have ever been made. But to claim that all of us want a skin that is "subdued, elegant, and consistent" is utter bull..... You will find that a majority will settle back to a "subd

Don't know if this is of any help... I had exactly the same problem after upgrading from the beta to the full release through SDC. The beta ran flawlessly, but after upgrading and rebooting, Vista64 booted into 'classic', and the WB-configuration menu popped up, but didn't let me change any skins (nothing happened when I pressed 'apply my changes now'). I read in another thread that after uninstalling WB I should delete the wbload.dll's out of the system32 and syswow6

I found that a large proportion (not all of course) of the people who cry: 'Vista is crap', are people who got their version of Vista through a p2p-Network. Pirated copies of Vista have been around since the beta-versions, and many of those are still being distributed as the real thing. There are also tons of "customized" and "light" Versions available. I believe Vista was probably the first OS to be pirated so heavily at such an early stage. During the time I contemplated buying a new compu

n these big box machines shipping with 512mb RAM and integrated video, XP is a MUCH better choice. I agree with that statement, although I hardly can't believe that such machines (with exceptions of some low-end laptops) are still sold, especially now that RAM-prices have fallen.

I don't really understand where all the gripe about Vista comes from. Yes , the improvements over XP are much smaller than initially planned. Yes , if you have a working XP machine, and are not in the market for a new computer, you might as well stick with XP. But... No , Vista is not less stable than its predecessor (that was the biggest downfall of ME, which was much less stable than Win98SE), and as such is not a "second ME". N

The problem in many 3rd world countries, is lack of a credit card. Where in most 1st world countries obtaining this is seemless. Issues of corrupt government and poor devlopmental plans lead the average citizen to a high cost of living with associated implications of ridiculous financial policy that leave the avergage consumer without credit card access for fear that he or she will be taken advantage of. While I can understand that not everyone has acces
